As the course project, students had to design the electricaland software mechanisms that allowed their robot to follow a flashlight, avoid obstacles andrespond to sound commands. Other courses that used ROBUS in learning situations wereIntroduction to Engineering and Teamwork, Technical Drawing, Software Design and Writtenand Oral Communication Skills9.Overall, students showed enthusiasm in these course assignments that were set to demonstrate aprogression in the technology and concepts used for

The corequisite course has been approved by the university curriculumcommittee and is a regular offering at the institution.The initial offering of the corequisite course occurred during the COVID pandemic necessitatingthe use of additional instructional technology. There was also an increase in low stakesassessments to encourage students to engage in the material. The added credits also increased theregularity of student interacting with calculus. Since the implementation of this pilot course,there have been several similar changes in
"Engineering")This search string yielded 717 papers, which were collected in September 2023. We used Arxiv, apopular preprint repository, to retrieve papers because, at the time, it was anticipated that manypapers about LLMs in education would not have passed peer review or been published yet.Moreover, the "correctness" of the results was not of concern at this stage; we were interested inwhich applications were garnering interest to explore through a research lens.To determine which papers were relevant, we evaluated them against the following two criteria:(1) the paper included reference to an LLM like ChatGPT in an educational setting, and (2) theeducational setting was science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM).

gender ratio and group size on both female and male-identifyingstudents is crucial for creating an optimal learning environment for the entire class. AtBinghamton University, only about 26% of undergraduate engineering students identify aswomen, highlighting the need for this research.In a 2020 article in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning, Al Mulhimet al. extensively explored how group size directly impacts student success in projects and finalgrades. The study compared large groups (7-8 people) and smaller groups (3-4 people), findingthat students generally perceived larger groups more positively and tended to perform better.However, the paper emphasizes that other underlying factors contribute to the success
